As top clinical leaders in an organization, CMOs are key to ensuring that the clinical workforce is moving in the right direction — with clear goals around achieving equitable outcomes. It will take a collaborative and dedicated effort to uncover implicit, confirmational and structural biases making an impact.

1. Enabling a diverse, inclusive workforce
2. Ensuring equitable care across a diverse set of patients
3. Addressing root causes of inequity in the broader community

Gathering information about the personal and social circumstances that impact a person’s health can help address disparity at the individual level. Begin to address the roots of health inequity now and build a foundation for sustainable cross-community efforts.
